Welcome to our Wednesday and Thursday post with photos from Cape Ann MA. Here is my 'whine' ~ I am still a bit weary from constant back pain and now temperatures in the 90's. Neither of which are very conducive to feeling very creative. Yet, each is a gift and just for today I will create to the best of my ability. Otherwise, my psyche will not be a 'happy camper' nor will my muse be happy. So, here we are 'showing up' as Woody Allen had suggested. Enjoy.

Hope you are feeling better soon. Thank you for sharing your window on the world. I love seeing life in different parts of the country. Looks like summer is in full swing. Sending healing prayers your way.

We've had those flowers blooming all over as well. I hadn't really noticed until recently but if you look closely at the leaves you will see it is a rose. And they smell as lovely as any rose as well. They perfume the air as you walk through the wood and the neighborhoods.

sometimes showing up is the best we can do. my middle son lives with constant back pain (his eyes show it) so I hope you get relief from your pain. I love your Cape Ann images, I want to soak up the feeling of being by water.

I am so sorry you have back pain, I know how experiencing chronic pain can just zap all of our energy away. Thank you for sharing these lovely photos-I am following you as well-Thank you too, for visiting me, your kind words were very uplifting for me!Sweet Hugs-Jemma

I'm sorry about your back pain - and the temps here in Mass have been brutal - especially with all the humidity! Your photos are lovely. There's a farmer's market on Cape Ann? What day of the week is that?

Farmers markets are so much fun and so colorful this time of year. I love fresh produce and all the people who grow it. Farmers markets are marvelous places to mingle, shop, and become part of the community spirit. Great F post.
